BlinkyEarrings - my first attempt at a wearable - it's the tiniest blinky LED thing I could fashion

So why the name?

Arduino is what got me into the hardware design arena at all. Even though I don't do a lot of work with Arduino shields anymore, I still use their IDE and library system for all the firmware authoring and uploading. I exclusively use Atmel Mega8 and Tiny controllers (at least as of this writing). Arduino was an Italian creation, so Geppetto is a nod to Arduino's Italian origins. Geppetto hand-crafted a thing that wound up with a life of its own - a little bit like the firmware adds a modicum of intelligence to a controller, and the circuit into which it is embedded.

It's going to take some time to fill in the content here, and over time I hope that there will be more stuff added.
